About Us
Hazem abdelghany
CHEF & CO-FOUNDER
I’m a chef with a background in construction and interior design — a foundation that influences the way I design kitchens and create thoughtful food experiences. My culinary journey began in Cairo from and intern to a Food director at various restaurants which took me to the Italian Chef Academy in Rome. I’ve had the privilege of working in renowned kitchens like Osteria Francescana and ÆDE, where I refined my skills and developed a style rooted in creativity, precision, and storytelling. Now back in Cairo, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned. At Cool Cat, I’m here to push the boundaries of tradition, spark your curiosity, and WOW your taste buds. It’s all about bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and good vibes. The Coolest Cat is waiting for you.

At Cool Cat, I shape the atmosphere behind every experience. From tablescaping and spatial flow to textures, colors, and details ,as well as designing the team’s clothing and visual styling . I create settings that carry warmth and intention. Each setup is designed to bring people together, around the table and within the moment, transforming gatherings into memories.
